Statistical data and reports are very significant information sources in most fields of study, including business, the social and natural sciences. Company, industry, consumer, and other data provide useful insight on how businesses, markets, societies, and nature work, and can serve as persuasive evidence when writing papers. However, never forget to examine how and by who the statistics that you intend to use were gathered, as the collection and sampling methodology may influence data analysis and interpretation.
